Bug: 22.1.50.1; eldoc-argument-case ignored

[Nikolaj Schumacher]

Hello,

eldoc's new function argument highlighting seems to disregard
`eldoc-argument-case', as setting it to 'downcase has no effect.

Actually, I think it worked as well as it did before, which was only
sometimes. I believe I have fixed it now, but it's possible I have
just made a hideous mess.

Thanks.
As far as I can see, there's just a small issue.
`eldoc-argument-case' is called with these arguments:
"(foo" "bar" "baz)"

It should probably be:
"foo" "bar" "baz"
for best backwards compatibility.

The attached patch should take care of that.


On a related issue, I strongly suggest making the highlighting face
customizable.  Currently 'bold is hardcoded.  Patch is attached, as well.

Eh, it doesn't make any difference to the way the function was
supposed to be used (changing case); and perhaps it's nicer to be able
to format the () as well...

Fine, applied (except face names should not end in -face).

Face names should not end with "-face", so this face should be called
`eldoc-highlight-function-argument'.

Sure, its just as well :).  I just wanted to point out that the old
behavior was different, in case that mattered.

Which reminds me:

Isn't it about time to install your changes to allow
faces to be overriden per-buffer (or was it per-window) ?

That feature is sorely missed.

Richard objected to some details of the implementation, and at the
time I didn't really have the energy to argue about it (there are
obviously implementation details which aren't important, but there are
details of the behavior which I think are necessary to make the
feature behave sanely, and of course I want to preserve the latter).

I still use it myself though, so at least I can say it hasn't bit-rotted.

Let's start the argument over.  Do you have a NEWS or manual entry that
describes the behavior?
